Piano wunderkind Kevin Chen makes his Halifax debut performing Chopin, Liszt, and Schubert.

A piano prodigy and the youngest winner of the Franz Liszt International Piano Competition, Canadian Kevin Chen showcases his remarkable talent in a recital featuring masterpieces by Chopin, Liszt, and Schubert.
